Midnight

City’s breathing slow, neon fades to grey,

My shadow moves the same old way.

Every step repeats your name,

Still can’t tell if I’ve escaped.

You said love would find its end,

But echoes never really bend.

Silence hums where words once stayed,

And I still move to what we made.

Heartbeat after midnight,

Still running under my skin.

A rhythm I can’t rewrite,

You’re the tempo I’m trapped within.

Heartbeat after midnight,

Between the dark and the light,

I dance alone but somehow still

You’re the pulse I can’t keep still.

Moonlight paints your outline thin,

I breathe you out, you breathe back in.

Every beat’s a gentle lie,

Pretending I don’t wonder why.

Streetlights flicker like your eyes,

I lose the truth in quiet sighs.

Even when I try to rest,

Your ghost still drums inside my chest.

Heartbeat after midnight,

Still running under my skin.

A rhythm I can’t rewrite,

You’re the tempo I’m trapped within.

Heartbeat after midnight,

Between the dark and the light,

I dance alone but somehow still

You’re the pulse I can’t keep still.

I’m not breaking, I’m just slow,

Letting every memory go.

But every time the silence falls,

I hear our love in every wall.

Heartbeat after midnight,

Fading soft, still alive.

Even when I close my eyes,

Your rhythm keeps me in time.
